Just throw the boots away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-today#post-54760 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:40:45 +0000 Angie 54760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that, Christie. I am learning with you. I have never not been able to have my shoes and boots resoled. Does that mean the soles aren't plastic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-today#post-54747 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:40:47 +0000 Violet 54747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Christie, that is good to know. Thanks for sharing this information. I haven't had any soles replaced before, but I will be considering them with a couple of my beloved pairs of ankle boots. Sorry to hear about your boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-learned-today#post-54742 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:06:19 +0000 christie 54742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, I learned that you can't re-sole shoes with polyurethane/plastic soles. I like to purchase shoes that border on pricey with the intention of wearing them often and keeping them for years. I take them to the local shoe-fixer-dude to keep them in good shape. After three winters of wearing my favorite high-heel, knee-high black boots, the soles on the toes have completely worn away (like, you can touch my toe, worn away). They can't be fixed. I'm so bummed. I'm not anywhere near wealthy, so a $200 pair of shoes is something I buy once every...well, three years. I had hoped to have these boots for years go come. Now, they're off to Goodwill. </p>
